This is a black and white engraving depicting a person using a long, pole-like instrument inside a church. The person is kneeling on one knee, facing towards the right, and is reaching upwards with both hands to manipulate the instrument. The instrument extends vertically upwards and appears to have a circular or wheel-like component at its top. The background consists of vertical lines representing the walls of the church, and the floor is depicted with diagonal lines suggesting a tiled or patterned surface. The style of the engraving is detailed and precise, with fine lines used to create shading and texture. Below the image, there is text in Italian that reads 'Sonagli adoperati nella Chiesa', which translates to 'Rattles used in the Church'. The image is framed by a rectangular border, and a number '163' is visible in the upper right corner. The overall impression is that of a historical illustration or documentation of a religious practice.
